Ok, so I'm listing a 2003 ram quad cab ST/SLT. The vin is 3D7LU38673G848698. This has the Cummins with auto and four wheel drive. I acquired this truck in trade back in December 2011. I got it from the original owner with 298509 miles, it now has 332,150. This truck has a fisher minute mount 2 three plug plow set up, but no plow. I've never plowed with it, but it was used as plow and work truck up till I got it. This truck is a work plow truck and it was an east coast truck with plenty of road salt. This truck has dents, scratches, rust and rot. It needs work. This truck still runs and drives, 4x4 works, tires are matched set of firestones with 6/32nds left. I was still using it till last week and am now driving a shop truck.  I started driving a shop truck because the rear axle is making some noise and I don't have time for a project anymore. I have not opened the rear, but I am sure it is getting worn, so it's time for someone else to work on this. When I first got this truck, I had to put a new radiator, new transmission cooler, one new transmission line, right front caliper, new front axle u-joints, new front wheel bearings, new front rotors, one injector line and a new oil pan. The transfer case was rebuilt with new chain sprockets, bearings, and even new cases, but I didn't replace the selector switch so the dash light to show it being engaged does not work. I really will miss this old truck, but I can't justify keeping it. Last winter I think the heater core plugged and needs replaced. The windshield wiper module needs changed, the drivers side works but linkage to pass side does not. The air conditioner worked last year, but now I can hear a hissing by the air filter, so it will need new lines and some work. The cd player never worked. The drivers seat side is worn off, drivers arm rest is cracked, the drivers rocker is rotting thru and all the corners are starting to show rust. It is still drivable, but the check engine light is on 70% of the time. I was told it needed an FCA, but it has been very fun and dependable. I drove this back and forth to east coast a few times and towed all kinds of stuff with this truck.  The person I got it from said at 240000 he had transmission rebuilt, and the only thing he ever had to replace on the engine was one water pump--Love the Cummins! The bed is off another truck. The last owner said that one of his workers hooked a ditch with the plow and spun into a delivery truck, and had to get the bed, rear axle, and bumper changed. Also the truck was repainted some time ago. Anyway ask questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I recommend you come and look at it if you are interested.

MotorWeek revisits the awesome, original Dodge Viper

Sat, Jun 6 2015

MotorWeek is bringing the automotive world a wonderful blast from the past with its latest Retro Review. Not only does the video feature the now-famous, original Dodge Viper, but this is also a chance to watch one lapping Pocono International Raceway in a test of track prowess. This segment was MotorWeek's first chance to unleash the Viper around a racecourse, and the show took advantage of the opportunity. In addition to the usual 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tests, the 400-horsepower V10 is let loose to do lap after lap. The clip offers a great dose of nostalgia and is worth a watch to remember the intense enthusiasm surrounding the Viper at the time.

Mopar unveils Dodge Challenger Drag Pak [w/video]

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Dodge is going drag racing, and it's doing it with an all-new version of the Challenger for NHRA's Sportsman class. FCA's Mopar parts and performance arm announced the new Challenger Drag Pak Friday, showing off a version with a 354-cubic-inch (that's a 5.8-liter, by the way), supercharged V8 and a 426-ci (7.0-liter), naturally aspirated V8 – both Hemis, of course – that can get the big coupes through the quarter-mile in "the eight-second range." While the two engines deliver similar performance, at their base, they're quite a bit different. The supercharged model uses a cast-iron block, while the 426 has aluminum for both the block and head. That said, both models get customized engine calibrations, and are mated to unique, race-spec automatic transmissions. But drag racing is about far more than just outright power. Mopar significantly updated the four-link rear suspension, adding a four-inch rear axle from Strange Engineering, along with an aluminum, nine-inch third member, while the rear-axle housing has been strengthened in general. Both the rear shocks and front struts can be adjusted for rebound and compression, too. Lightweight 15-inch wheels, meanwhile, are shod in super-sticky Hoosier drag radials, with nine inches of tread in back and 4.5 inches in front. The new Challenger Drag Pak should run the quarter-mile in "the eight-second range." In the cabin, there's an NHRA-spec roll cage, a Racepak gauge cluster, and a handsome pair of Sparco racing seats. Outside, supercharged models get blue decals, while naturally aspirated varieties get black stickers, although there's more to the new Challenger dragster's exterior than just its decals. Mopar tweaked the big-scoop hood, promising it's easier to get up to check on the engine, and the designers also added trailer tie-down straps in both the front and rear. While the dragster was the big news today, Mopar officials also announced the two enhanced Scat Pack kits for both the Dodge Charger and Challenger R/T. The 5.7-liter Hemi models gain an extra 56 horsepower and 30 pound-feet of torque in the Scat Pack 2 thanks to a new cam, valve springs, pushrods, and gaskets. The Scat Pack 3, meanwhile, adds 75 hp and 44 lb-ft, on top of the gains from the lower packages. That should be perfect for drivers who wish to snort in the face of their SRT 392-driving friends. The third stage adds a ported cylinder heads, as well as high-flow manifolds and catalysts.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
